I adore mythology and people seemed to really enjoy my Norse Mythology Book Tag, so I figured I would post my Egyptian one as well. If there are any mythologies that you really love and would like me to tackle, be sure to let me know! I’d love to research them and try to create a tag. If you want this to become a semi-regular thing, I could tackle a new mythology each month and create a tag for it?
The Rules:
- Link back to my original post on Kyera’s Library so I can see all your answers! (Be sure to do this via pingback, I don’t get notified if you just tag my URL)
- Thank the person(s) who tagged you… show the community some love!
- Obviously, come up with your wonderful answers!
- Don’t forget to tag others to keep the tag going!
Amun-Ra – Character Who Enthusiastically Involves Themselves In Everybody’s Business
Ra is the falcon-headed sun god, the creator and he named five of his fellow gods.
Iko from the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Osiris – Favourite Down-to-Earth Male Character
Osiris is the god of death, farming, and vegetation.
Prince Kai from the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Isis – Favourite Female Character with Powers
Isis is the goddess of magic and fertility, as well as being the mother goddess.
So tough to choose between Hermione and Nina, ugh. They’re both amazing, but I think I have to go with Hermione.
Anubis – Character You Wish You Could Bring Back From the Dead
Anubis took over as guardian of the underworld from his father, so he is the god of the afterlife and death.
SPOILERS BELOW
You’ve Been Warned.
Last Chance.
Dumbledore from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Set – A Character That is More Devious Than the Actual Villain
Set is the god of darkness, chaos, and storms.
Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
She is legit the worst.
Hathor – Quote That Brightens Your Day
Hathor is the cow goddess of motherhood, joy, happiness, music, and love.
Anything said by Jace Herondale from the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
Neith – Character You Wish You Could Receive Life Advice From
Neith is the goddess of the hunt, wisdom, weaving, and battle.
Dumbledore from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
Ma’at – Injustice You Wish You Could Rectify
Ma’at is the goddess of truth, harmony, and justice.
Basically all of An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir?
Horus – Favourite Bright/Cheery Book Cover
Horus is the god of light and the sky, as well as the god of the Pharaohs.
Thoth – Book With the Most Beautiful Prose
Thoth is the god of wisdom, writing, magic and the moon.
The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
I just love her writing style.
Ptah – Best World Building
Ptah is the creator and craftsman of the gods.
The world that J.K Rowling builds in Harry Potter has to be the most intricate, especially because there’s so much development that goes on behind the scenes that you don’t always get to see – but maybe one day will end up on Pottermore. It’s incredible.
Khonsu – Book You Wish You Could Read for the First Time Again
Khonsu is the god of time and the moon.
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
I mean I don’t want to lose growing up with the series, but it’s always wonderful to see someone experience your favourite series for the first time and at least for me, I’m curious what it would be like.
Sobek – Book You Would Save From Drowning (Possibly Over Another Person, No Judgement)
Sobek is the god of the Nile and water.
I don’t know if I could choose just one book, but if I had to at least narrow it down I would say one of my special books that were either limited edition (like the Waterstones Lady Midnight, which only was about 1,000 copies?) or signed by the author in my presence (so I also have a memory of the author associated with them).
I Tag:
The usual suspects, Mandy from Book Princess Reviews, Shanah from Bionic Book Worm and Rendz from Reading with Rendz – because they are awesome, I know they will do the tag (eventually) and they are beloved here in the book blogging community so I know it will be shared. And if you love mythology or just doing book tags, feel free to also do this tag and share it with your readers! I would appreciate it!
Did I miss one of your favourite Egyptian deities? I know there were some that I had originally and just couldn’t think of a good prompt for them, so they ended up being cut. Sorry.
